A commonly accepted definition for a technician is “a person whose job is keeping a particular type of equipment or machinery in good condition”. A mechanic can therefore be seen as a labourer who can fix things, but a technician generally has a more detailed, technical knowledge of how things work, but who can also work as a mechanic. Trail and Tar is proud to have the three following technicians looking after your bicycles: Grant, Anthony and Joel. Mali, our bike wash wizard has been keeping our customers bike spotless since we opened doors.

“I have been using Trail and Tar for several years now, for servicing of all my bicycles, plus 2 complete bike builds. It has been a great experience and one where I have got to know the whole team at the shop. Workmanship has been great. I have also made use of them at the Wine 2 Whales and for the last three years, at the Cape Epic from a service pack side of things. The guys have done an awesome job in keeping the bike sound. PLUS adding a great vibe at their tech station where we used their physio services as well. It has been so good in fact that my brother and I have moved into the “supporters village” with Trail and Tar and stayed with the guys for the whole cape Epic, using his team to transport our motorhome & taking care of all our extra’s (laundry drops, coffee collects, shopping, etc). In fact I would go as far as to say their involvement has largely contributed to me been able to achieve the last 2 Epics on my rigid steel SS bike. The Epic is so hard and by having a happy environment to fall back onto each day is such a big advantage. Kudos to Trail and Tar…………….Grant, Ant & Joel u rock!” – Max & Isabelle Menzies
